Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of picking devices, in particular to a picker for macadamia nuts. Background Art

[0002] Macadamia nut, also known as Queensland chestnut, Australian walnut, macadamia nut, and Queensland nut, is a tree nut native to Australia. It is an evergreen tree and a dicotyledonous plant.

[0003] In the prior art, after the macadamia nuts mature, they fall from the tree to the ground, and then the fruits that fall to the ground are picked up by a picker. The picker is mainly composed of a push rod and a picking cage, which are movably connected. A number of metal bars are installed on the picking cage. When in use, the staff holds the push rod to drive the picking cage to roll on the ground. During the rolling process, the metal bars are deformed when they touch the fruits, prompting the fruits to enter the picking cage, that is, the macadamia nuts are picked up. When the picking cage is full of macadamia nuts, the staff opens a hole in the picking cage by breaking the metal bars to prompt the macadamia nuts in the picking cage to flow out, and the outflowing macadamia nuts are received by the container for easy handling and transportation.

[0004] However, the process of workers using their hands to pry open the metal bars to open a hole in the picking cage to allow the macadamia nuts in the cage to flow out is rather inconvenient and laborious. When workers are pulling the metal bars of the picking cage for a long time, their hands are easily hurt or even injured by the metal bars, causing harm to themselves and affecting the normal work of the workers.
